What's up with the Chirchri 16:03 run?

I should've asked this a few months ago, but I guess the new world record renewed my interest in this.

2-3 months ago, runner Chirchri posted a psx any% run in 16:03. That run was the world record for a few days and then was removed with no explanation and I believe he was banned too?

I assume his run was spliced but I failed to get any response from him. It seems he's trying to maintain the facade that his run is legit and removes any comment that questions its validity. As far as I'm aware, there was no public official explanation for the removal of his run.

So... Was the run spliced like I suspect? Or was it removed for some other reason?

Chirchri has been quite a shady character since we first met him, it all started off with him submitting a TAS for an IL. Which originally lead to a banning of him being allowed to submit runs. However, as time went on he started to show signs of improving on this particular behaviour, and we lead to unbanning him again and he once again started to submit runs.

Not long after we later down the line announced that keyboards were to be banned from use in emulated Playstation version runs by proof of showing controller inputs in emulated runs (as console cannot use keyboard inputs which are unfairly advantageous in some areas) it would seem he started personally removing every single one of his PBs from this site following this specific rule change.

Since he removed the runs and changed his Twitch profile name he has been staying at a distance from the community where he once took part in events/races with us. As for him being banned at this moment in time? I am not 100% sure with that.

If Rayman 1 moderators respond to this they may well give you a better rundown of the whole situation as I am sure what I am saying is not completely accurate/completely true but it is along the lines of what I have said being one of the more active runners of the community throughout his time being partially more part of the community and this has been my own experiences with Chirchri myself based on what I have seen from him.

Hope this helps a bit to give you a bit more of an insight into the situation.

I'm not sure what's up with that run but I think they deleted their account here back in like December. Also, I know they apologized for their fake runs. But if it was like 2 months ago, I'm not really sure what is up. I know the video of the run still exists. I hope they are doing well.

The 1 : 16 : 03 was not cheated as far as we know. Mods did investigate it and came to the conclusion it was legit.

The keyboard rule change happened after said run, and was decided by a vote of the community. I believe the community voted that the 1 : 16 : 03 run, since done prior to said rule change, would still be considered the wr.

Chirch removed his run himself. It was not a mod.

also keyboard was never banned you just have to show the inputs while playing.

Yep i can confirm we allowed his run onto the boards but for whatever reason he took it down himself and pretty much left the community since then.

Changes to the leaderboard

Hello there,

There's been a bunch of changes to the leaderboard. We've added an Any% Category for Rayman on PS1 since that version is now beatable with the use of a Memory Card Manipulation. Essentially being able to warp to Mr. Dark's Dare, skipping the need for collecting all the cages.
